(www.windsorautotransport.com) I’ve used them several times and they are quick and the best price. Two weeks ago I called them when I bought this (almost) identical car, a 420SEL, on a competing site. Within 2 days it was picked up in New York and delivered to me in CA 5 days later despite horrible Winter storms, for $1200 less than two other quotes. I strongly recommend them, AND buying a W126. 😉January 2nd, 2023 at 3:50am EST$10,000 bid placed by @Prezes84January 2nd, 2023 at 1:31am ESTHJSarafian (11) Seller 0@smhgator great question. The SRS light was on when I sent the vehicle to Beverly Laurel Automotive. They informed me that the SRS Module (behind the ashtray) needed to be replaced. I was able to source an operating mint condition part. Beverly Laurel Automotive replaced it free of charge, hence why it is not shown on the receipt. The part was purchased cash from a local reliable source and a receipt was not created. Happy New Year! January 1st, 2023 at 8:55pm ESTsmhgator (2) 0The receipt for the 2014 service indicates that the airbag computer needs to be replaced, and the receipt from the recent service at Beverly Laurel indicates that the SRS light was on. The start up video shows that it is off. Can the seller comment on the status of the SRS system?January 1st, 2023 at 6:50pm EST$8,250 bid placed by @vahidberdjisJanuary 1st, 2023 at 5:44pm EST$8,000 bid placed by @AbdulwahhabJanuary 1st, 2023 at 5:34am EST$7,500 bid placed by @VintageJulianDecember 31st, 2022 at 4:26pm ESTsmhgator (2) 2Very beautiful, good luck with the auction!December 29th, 2022 at 2:36pm ESTOldflorida1 (0) 0Anyone ha info on a car hauler -California to Tampa,Fl ?December 29th, 2022 at 2:22pm EST$7,250 bid placed by @garycapettaDecember 28th, 2022 at 8:14pm ESTRufYellowBird (14) 1Very nice clean example, although a bit high mileage, looks very well maintainedDecember 28th, 2022 at 6:58pm ESTMasonT (2) 2@Davidsbenz560 The description doesn't say anything about "air ride" or "air suspension". It does, however, mention SLS self-leveling rear suspension (three times). The reason for this is because the W126 NEVER had air suspension. The 560SEL came standard with SLS rear leveling suspension. NOT air. No w126 ever came with air suspension. The seller was correct when he pointed this out to you in an earlier comment. A simple google search should clear up any confusion about this for you. December 28th, 2022 at 6:33pm ESTDavidsbenz560 (4) 0You say that this car has no air ride, but you description states it has air ride, on the 560 it was standard equipment, has any repairs or replacement been made on the rear or the front end suspension?December 25th, 2022 at 10:20pm EST$7,000 bid placed by @ParfourDecember 23rd, 2022 at 11:25am EST$5,000 bid placed by @Ali63December 23rd, 2022 at 9:08am ESTthembmarket (691) 0Additional service records have been added to the gallery. Thank you. December 22nd, 2022 at 7:38pm ESTHJSarafian (11) Seller 1@Davidsbenz560 Thanks for your question The vehicle is equipped with the SLS hydraulic suspension. There was no air suspension on this model. The vehicle was inspected meticulously and worked on by the one and only Beverly Laurel Automotive in Hollywood, CA. They are THE specialists for W126. I have 30+ classic Mercedes in my collection and they are the only one I trust. Vehicle was inspected top to bottom, including looking for suspension, timing, and fuel issues. Attached in the photo galley is their invoice of the work they did. The suspension is in great condition. The interior is an absolute 10 out of 10. Everything on the car works and is in place. The mechanics reported to me that the timing chains and guides were in good condition. Same for all components of the fuel, electrical, and suspension systems. Good Luck Everyone! December 22nd, 2022 at 12:54pm ESTDavidsbenz560 (4) 0Any repairs replacement on air suspension, timing chain, fuel Injectors, are seats firm or are springs broken ? Any thing that's been replaced mechanical? December 21st, 2022 at 2:35pm ESTdengreene (18) 1I had one of these, same year, 1991 in champagne, and loved it.

December 21st, 2022 at 1:21pm ESTHJSarafian (11) Seller 1Hello all. This is my 1991 Mercedes-Benz 560SEL. I purchased this about a year ago and started slowly making it perfect. Everything works, everything is there, no mechanical or electrical issues. The car wears its original paint, I will upload paint meter readings very soon. I'm an avid collector of W126, W124, & W123. I absolutely love these timeless and classy pieces. Feel free to ask questions. Good Luck Everyone!December 21st, 2022 at 11:48am ESTthembmarket (691) 1All fixed now, thanks!December 2
